FIRST FLOWGRAPH ANALYSIS
The Analytics Engine Week 01  | ANALYSIS OF MOVING ENTITY

The image below shows the flowgraph which I created with the help of Russell. The flowgraph measures the velocity, in m/s (meters per second) of the assigned vehicle as it is driven, and outputs the numerals and recordings onto the screen to be seen, as it is driven. As the vehicle travels faster and above 10mph, it activates the movement of a secondary entity, the gate, to open and allow the exodus into the outer terrain. However if the vehicle does not travel faster than 10mph the gate will not be opened. This was controlled through the use of the ‘math:less’ input’s implemented into the flowgraph as seen below.

Chosen Pachube Feed - CREATING SPACE WITH LIGHT

"The sense of space is created using light. The number of people entering and leaving a room directly correlates to the floor area which is lit up. As more people enter the room the lit floor area increases. As more of the floor area is lights up the concept or a larger space is created."

STRENGTH	WEAKNESS
Light can be seen all around us at any time and any place, whether it is natural or artificial. The strength of this feed is that, it measures the area of a room through the number of people and displays the gathered information through the sense of light.	A weakness of this feed is that the light as subjects move in transition in and out of the room being monitored, the light may not represent the true data. Also another primary weakness is that the feed is frozen and has not been updated.
OPPORTUNITIES	THREATS
This feed has may opportunities as through the Crysis environment, this feed can be incorporated into many different installations. One would be to directly relate the information of the feed - a possibility would be having multiple avatars enter and leave a room showing the luminance of the room change	The flowgraphs needed in order to represent my chosen feed could prove to be difficult to achieve - however a task that will be overcome. Also the time of day could hinder aspects of representing the feed in its true form.
